    copied!<p>I've been looking around for a good back-end independent HTML/CSS/JS widget for many-to-many/has_many relations with XHR filtering and I can't seem to find any.</p> <p>I find hard to believe people are constantly re-inventing this wheel.</p> <p>What am I missing?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Ok, from the number of people that didn't understand it, this was a crappy question.</p> <p>I believe that regular web interactions should come at minimal cost (it should either already be in HTML or a package install away).</p> <p>That's true for most cases. However, I'm having a hard time finding something for picking up an item from a collection (Not autocomplete, something more elaborate than merely a string. If you want an example, assume you want to pick users and have their avatar displayed while picking.).</p> <p>Picture this:</p> <p>When you want the user to provide</p> <ul> <li>a short string in a form, you give them an input box</li> <li>a long text in a form, you give them a text area</li> <li>a piece of HTML (for a blog post's body, for example), you give them a text area with <a href="http://ckeditor.com/" rel="nofollow">CKEditor</a> or <a href="http://www.tinymce.com/" rel="nofollow">TinyMCE</a></li> <li>pick something from a short list, you give them a drop down menu (like a select box)</li> <li>a string based on a wide range of known alternatives, you give them an input box with autocomplete (<a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/" rel="nofollow">jQuery UI Autocomplete</a>, <a href="http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/autocomplete/" rel="nofollow">YUI Autocomplete</a>, etc..)</li> <li>a set of items from a wide range of options, you give them... <em>drumroll...</em></li> </ul> <p>I don't know! And that's my question. I've searched a bit and could only come up with <a href="http://loopj.com/jquery-tokeninput/demo.html" rel="nofollow">jquery-tokeninput</a> as a credible option.</p>
